A dream job opportunity working on a stunning Scottish island creating biscuits has been advertised — with housing supplied for successful candidates. Currently, The Island Bakery in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull is searching for new staff members. The coastal town is renowned as the setting of the cherished children’s television programme Balamory.
Two permanent roles at The Island Bakery are presently being promoted on the job website HiJOBS with a wage of £12.60 an hour, which is the Real Living Wage, reported the Daily Record. According to the company, there will also be the chance for salary increases as the workers develop skills and responsibilities. The housing supplied with the roles is a two-bed flat, which makes it ideal for a couple or a pair of friends.
The full-time roles will be permanent, with work distributed across four days between Monday and Thursday. Shifts will commence at 2pm and finish at 12am, with occasional overtime available in a team that currently consists of 12 people.
The successful candidates will help with various elements of production, including weighing ingredients and packing. Applicants should be capable of working collaboratively and effectively in a small team. They must also be “reasonably fit”, as staff will be required to work on their feet.
No prior experience is necessary to apply for the positions, although it would be beneficial. Additionally, one of the positions will involve warehouse work, so forklift experience would be advantageous.
The HiJOBS advert reveals: “We’re a friendly small family business where everyone is valued, in a small island community. Opportunities to move here to a full-time permanent and year-round position with affordable accommodation included are rare.
“If you want to make the move, we’d love to hear from you.”
During time off, there’s plenty to explore around Tobermory across the three-day weekend. The principal town on Mull is best known for its vibrant harbour-front properties that notably featured in Balamory.
Among the premier attractions locally is the Tobermory Distillery, established back in 1798. The distillery, producing celebrated single malt whiskies, provides guided tours and an extensive range of tasting sessions.
Another highlight in Tobermory is The Mull Museum, dedicated to the island’s captivating heritage. The compact spot houses an extensive collection of records and diverse artefacts chronicling Mull’s rich history.
Candidates for positions at The Island Bakery must participate in a virtual interview. According to HiJOBS, the bakery seeks new staff members to commence employment immediately.
Further details regarding the vacancy can be accessed via the HiJOBS platform.
